The ungraded inspection reaffirmed the school's 'Good' status, with an Ofsted spokesman stating, “When we have judged a school to be good, we will then normally go into the school about once every four years to confirm that the school remains good.”
For the community of East Hoathly, this report is a proud affirmation of the school's dedication to providing a high-quality education in a supportive and nurturing environment.
